I think the situation is that the HOA has been stable and there has been consensus, but recent discussions and drafts have cast some doubt on the issue. I would say the fate of the HOA is currently unclear and there is no consensus. I think the possible outcomes are (1) we decide the HOA is good and should stay as it is, (2) we decide the HOA can be used, but only in the context of doing Route Optimization (which would make the HOA optional in IPv6), and (3) we decide to use something else than HOAs, such as some tunneling scheme.
